As promised, here are the links for reading resources we checked out today. Remember to talk to your parents before creating any online accounts.
http://www.goodreads.com - a social media site for readers! This is a great place to keep track of your reading life by creating "to-read" lists, setting challenges, marking progress, and rating and reviewing books. Even if you don't set up an account, you can go here to check out community reviews of books you might be interested in reading.
http://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/ - a quick, bare-boned way to get a few suggested titles based on books you've enjoyed before.
https://www.overdrive.com/ - this is an app/resource provided by the excellent Connecticut library system. Anyone with a CT library card can set up an account (select "all LION libraries" when given an option to choose your library); you can then check out up to 10 ebooks at a time, all for free. The ebooks can either be downloaded directly to the Overdrive app or sync with a Kindle/Kindle app.
http://www.amazon.com - even if you're not buying here, it's a great place to "window-shop", read reviews, and see what books might be suggested based on your interests and search history.
I hope these resources will go a long way in helping you meet your reading goals for the rest of the year!
